plain ole firefox on fc35 laptop.  all my
   <a href="http://site.com">xxx</a>
links work fine, but not one of my
   <a href="file:///(path)/fil.htm">xxx</a>
links does.

so far as i know, there's nothing unusual about my
installation of firefox.

just tried things out on second adjacent laptop
with the same results.

(sigh.)
